The review reads, “Znamenski’s research, much of it previously unknown in the West, is put together in a scholarly, yet entirely readable way, with photos and even an informative epilogue over the 300 or so pages. Not everyone meets a pleasant fate, particularly those who fall afoul of the brutal Stalinists. For those fascinated with ancient mysteries, secret knowledge and history, Red Shambhala is certainly a book that will keep you turning the pages.”

THE REALITY OF ESP, A Physicist’s Proof of Psychic Abilities by Russell Targ, Ph.D.

—A scientist shares his years of cutting-edge research and discovery in psychic abilities: remote viewing, extrasensory perception, mental influence, space and time, healing at a distance and “how it all works: the physics of miracles.” (Paperback, 312 pp, $17.95, Quest Books 2012)

The classes run Saturdays (May 12 – June 16) from 10:30 – 11:30 a.m. CDT. More than simply exploring card meanings, Quinn will teach participants how to look at parallels between the cards and the practical wisdom teachings of the world’s great mystical traditions – Tarot for guidance and personal growth.

All you need to do to join the Earth Day celebration is sing to your special trees at noon on this Earth Day, April 22, 2012.

A Single Idea Planted With Hope

In January 2010 a single idea was planted on the fertile ground of Facebook. It was a simple call: Create your own Woodstock. On Earth Day, April 22, 2010 sing to your favorite tree.

The Response

Over 5,000 people from 40 countries and 30 states have sung to trees

The Need

Every day a rain forest the size of Central Park is destroyed.

Every year a rain forest area larger than England is cut down.

15% of deforestation is caused by cutting down trees for toilet paper.

Why Sing?

The Civil Rights Movement, Apartheid and more recently Pete Seeger’s Ship of Hope to clean the Hudson River have used song to create awareness and galvanize action.

Singing:

Helps create community

Gives us a way to have a voice in saving what we love

Is an offering of our life force and spirit

Connects us to ancient traditions

Nourishes trees by giving them carbon dioxide

Is part of the joy of being human

Helps us relax and tune into nature and to each other

Reminds us we are part of the chorus of life

A Few Tree Messages

“As you humans come and take a public stand with us, it does strengthen our health. Your intentions radiate in waves that carry life force. We are grateful for the public nature of your support. That is needed even more than you know. Open support creates consciousness waves within the collective human mind. Our life becomes less about struggling to maintain and more about generating greater life force for all. Every small thought turned to action counts.” Bonnie Willow, Asheville, North Carolina

The review, listed under HEALTH & MEDICINE, reads, “This easy-to-use self-help title will appeal to readers looking for stress-reduction techniques. Meditators, students of mindfulness, yoga and Pilates aficionados, and those interested in mind-body topics will also find much of interest. Recommended.”

The review reads, “’Practical Centering’ is broken up into easy to digest sections, and the book itself is a fantastic size to carry in your purse, leave in your nightstand, or put pretty much where ever. If you’re like me, you’ll soon find yourself at least taking the time to do a few really good full cleansing breaths when taking a break from your desk at work. Larkin Barnett’s ‘Practical Centering’ is truth in advertising. I can’t recall reading a more practical, accessible book on this sort of subject matter.”
